A temporary traffic order, cited as the Harrow (Pinner View) Temporary Traffic Order 2026, has been issued by Harrow Council. This order allows for restrictions to remain in place for up to 18 months, or until the works are finished. During the period of the works, vehicles will be prohibited from entering or exiting Pinner View at its intersections with Headstone Gardens, Kingsfield Avenue, and Cunningham Park.
Drivers should expect additional parking and loading restrictions on adjacent streets, including Victor Road, Albert Road, Harrow View, and Parkside Way. Diversion routes will be established for traffic travelling in both northbound and southbound directions along Pinner View and the surrounding roads. Exceptions to these restrictions are in place for emergency services, vehicles directly involved in the upgrade works, and individuals requiring access to properties within the affected zone.
Poonam Pathak, strategic head of traffic, highways and asset management at Harrow Council, stated that the order would be operational from 12 October 2026 and would remain in effect for a legal duration of 18 consecutive months or until the completion of the works, whichever occurred sooner. The council anticipates that all work should be finished by 27 November 2026. The restrictions will only be enforced when appropriate traffic signs are displayed and may be lifted at the direction of police or civil enforcement officers.
